What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cappagh (frenchpark By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle south-facing slope of an east-west spur, forming a circular overgrown area nearly twenty-nine metres across. An earthen bank surrounds the centre, while an outer ditch cuts across the southwest to northeast edge. A field bank and townland boundary with Lissian now cover the northwest ditch edge, and Rath lies about two hundred and fifty metres to the west-northwest along the ridge.

There is no visible entrance, and the outer edge of the fosse is overlain by a NNE-SSW field bank and townland boundary with Lissian at NW. Rath (RO014-013----) is c. 250m to the WNW along the ridge.
